Hello everyone.
Through this blog I will describe each step I have been doing as an intern at CSUSM, more precisely at the Office of Communications.
I am a video intern and I will work with shooting and editing short videos to feed the university's social networks as Facebook and Instagram. It means that my job is closely related to the Social Media team. These videos might have the maximum duration of 2 minutes and also a short version of 15 seconds would be cut to be shared on Instagram (as a teaser or summary).
Until now I just had one meeting with my supervisor Christine Vaughan, my job partner Lindsey Jones and the Social Media team. In that meeting we were introduced to each other and also our functions and first project pitch were explained. It will be a short video about the word TUKWUT. This word came from the language spoken by the early american natives called Luiseño which means mountain lion or cougar. This word was adopted around campus as an icon to talk about the pride and commitment of its members. However, most of people around campus don't know what does that means or don't know how to pronounce ir properly. That's what the video will actually cover: people struggling trying to guess the pronunciation of the word TUKWUT. Sort of a short, quick and funny video to go viral through the CSUSM Social Medias.
After that, we had a quick brainstorm and several great ideas for new projects showed up. That would be fun to work on during the fall.
Our first day of shooting was not specified until the end of this publication.
